This morning, CatMatt experienced something they never imagined they'd experience in central Indiana: an earthquake. At around 5:30 this morning, they both were startled awake by a rumbling sound and the feeling that their house was shaking. Despite their original assumption that they were either dreaming or insane, it turned out the house was indeed shaking, because of a 5.2 magnitude earthquake 450 miles away. Strange.

And let the landscaping begin.
